Been away for a while...Thoughts?

For cohabitation I think rubber boas would be a good place to start researching as they naturally cohabitate. But it's very difficult to find information on them, especially current.

Rosy Boas have been known, like most snakes, to eat each other. In my experience with rosies, it depends on the temperament of the individual rosy. I have some that would it would appear to never occur to them but I have others where they will attempt to eat anything that moves.

I've heard some sand boa pairs can cohabitate.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, rubber boas are native to the province in which I live, so it isn't legal to keep them. That's the one one species I've still never encountered in the field. I know a couple people who have, and I'm very jealous! Neither of them are into snakes or even had any idea what they were. I'd just get a text message with a pic of a rubber boa, "What kind of snake is this?"

So I guess rosies are out, and I'll have to look into the sand boas a bit more...

Damn. I have a similar problem in my state but there is a loophole. I can't touch rubber boas in the wild but I can keep captive bred ones from out of state (I've seen them sold in Nevada). And yes they are notorious for their secrecy! They are supposedly native to my hometown but I've never seen one. Only pictures....
